Definitions

  • This invention relates to sulfonamide derivatives useful as microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use.
  • microbicides have ever been synthesized and used as microbicides for agriculture or horticulture. They have contributed greatly to supply agricultural products constantly. However, it is well-known that frequent use of restricted number of compounds has led to outbreak of microbes which are resistant to those drugs. In addition, recent rise in demand for the safety and environmental influence of chemical substances has made it desirable to develop safer microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use. This has given an intention to the researches to explore and research novel compounds with microbicidal activity. As for sulfonamide derivatives, a lot of compounds have also been synthesized so far from the interests in their biological or chemical characteristics.
  • sulfonamide derivatives related to microbicides there may be cited those described in Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 286366/1986, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 239264/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 238006/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 307851/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 156952/1989, and in J.

Description

Technical Field
This invention relates to sulfonamide derivatives useful as microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use.
Background Art
A lot of microbicides have ever been synthesized and used as microbicides for agriculture or horticulture. They have contributed greatly to supply agricultural products constantly. However, it is well-known that frequent use of restricted number of compounds has led to outbreak of microbes which are resistant to those drugs. In addition, recent rise in demand for the safety and environmental influence of chemical substances has made it desirable to develop safer microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use. This has given an intention to the researches to explore and research novel compounds with microbicidal activity. As for sulfonamide derivatives, a lot of compounds have also been synthesized so far from the interests in their biological or chemical characteristics. A majority of them are, however, synthetic intermediates, medicines, compounds prepared for the aim of elucidating chemical reaction mechanism or reagents. As for sulfonamide derivatives related to microbicides, there may be cited those described in Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 286366/1986, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 239264/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 238006/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 307851/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 156952/1989, and in J. Med. Chem. 1983, 26, 1741, and in DE19725447, and so on.
Nevertheless, no sulfonamide derivative has been developed yet, which is safe and has little influence on human beings and firm animals, natural enemies, and the environment, and exert excellent protective effects even on drug-resistant microbes.

    [Synthetic Method (D)]
    When compound (I0) or salts thereof have nitro groups as the substituent in B0, they can be obtained by nitrating the corresponding raw-material (compounds which have no substituents at the positions where the nitro substitution will be introduced) with nitrating agents [synthetic method (D)]. As nitrating agents, 30 to 100% nitric acids and fuming nitric acids are commonly used. However, other nitrating agents such as alkali metal nitrates, for example, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and so on, alkyl ester nitrates such as ethyl nitrate, amyl nitrate, and so on, nitronium tetrafluoroborate (NO2BF4), nitronium trifluoromethanesulfonate (NO2CF3SO3), nitrogen oxides (for example, NO2, N2O3, N2O4, N2O5), and so on. Fifty to 100% nitric acids are especially preferable. The nitrating agents may be used about in 1.0 to 20 equivalents to the raw-material which is not substituted at positions where nitro substitution will occur. More preferably, the ratio of nitrating agent to the raw material is 1.0 to 10 equivalents, or about 1.0 to 3.0 equivalents in cases where nitric acid of 90% or so is used.
    Although the nitration reaction may be carried out in the absence of solvent, it is usually done in the presence of acidic solvents such as sulfuric acid, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, trifluoromethane sulfonic acid, and so on. If it is desirable, any solvents or mixtures of solvents which do not affect wrongly to the reaction can be used. As such solvents, there can be mentioned, in addition to the acidic solvents mentioned above, those solvents described regarding the reaction (A) 2 ○ above. Those solvents can either be used singly, or, if necessary, as mixtures of two or more (preferably 2 to 3) species of them together, in appropriate ratios of, for example, about 1:1 to 1:10 (v/v ratios).
    In the cases where the reaction solvent is not homogeneous, the reaction may be made in the presence of phase-transfer-catalysts, for example, quaternary ammonium salts such as triethylbenzyl-ammonium chloride, tri-n-octylmethylammonium chloride, trimethyl-decylammonium chloride, tetramethylammonium bromide, cetyl-pyridinium bromide, and so on, and crown ethers, and so on.
    The most preferable solvents are acetic acid and acetic anhydride. The reaction temperature is usually about -50 to 200 °C, more preferably about -20 to 130°C, and the reaction time is from about 1 mimute to 24 hours, more preferably from about 15 minutes to 3 hours.

This solution was irrigated onto soil infected with club root disease in an amount of 353.7 mg compound/m2, followed by a thorough mixing the soil. Then, seeds of Chinese cabbage (cv. Komatsuna) were sown in the soil and cultivated in a greenhouse for 4-6 weeks. The roots of the plants were rinsed out and the degree of disease development was investigated. The test results were shown in the protection score as follows,
  • Protection score 3: degree of disease development is less than 25%
  • Protection score 2: the degree is from 26 to 50%
  • Protection score 1: the degree is from 51 to 75%
  • Protection score 0: the degree is more than 76%
  • Test Results: Compounds of the compound No. 115, 312, 525, 528, 529, 535, 536, 537, 545, 552, 560 showed the protection score 3.
    • Hereunder, in the Test Examples 5 to 9, the evaluation of each fungicide was carried out by converting the ratio into a protection value after measuring the lesion area ratio (in percentage). The protection value was calculated by means of the equation as follows. protection value = (1-(lesion area in the division treated with fungicide)/lesion area in the division not treated with fungicide))x100 An estimated protection value of a mixture of active ingredients was calculated according to the Colby's formula [R.S.Colby, Weeds 15, 20-22 (1967)] and compared with the experimental protection value.
    Colby's Equation: E = x + y -xy/100 [wherein, E is the estimated protection value (additive effect) which will be obtained when the active ingredients A and B are used in a mixture in concentrations a and b, respectively x is the protection value obtained when the active igredient A is used in a concentration a, and y is the protection value obtained when the active ingredient B is used in a concentration b. When an experimental protection value is greater than the expected value E, it shows the presence of synergism (potentiation). A protection value equal 0 means that the lesion area ratio of the plants in the test group is as large as that of the plants in the untreated control group. A protection value equals 100 means that the plants in the test group are free from the disease.
